Triple eyelid folds with a fourth pre-fold? i'm only 21. (Photos)

July 9, 2017
Asked By:carnationmonica in Los Angeles, CA

My eyes have always been oddly folded from birth, but as I get even slightly older they seem to get worse (from double to triple, etc). Will this increase in folding possibly lead to impaired vision as I get older? I'm only 21 and I worry that not only is it aesthetically not pleasing, it might actually impact me significantly later. Any advice would be appreciated.
